Okay, here's a neat idea I'm ripping off emulating from another game.

Think one of the other characters has said something memorable?  Then post it in here, be it witty, funny, heart-warming, sad, or filled with a rage that chilled your very soul when you read it.

One rule: No quoting something your own character said, unless you're posting a section of a conversation, where the other character's smart-assedness is the main focus of the quote.

For the moment we'll restrict it to IC stuff, though I may expand it later.
Have fun.  :)

I'll start with funny and witty, because that's the easiest to peg, months after reading it for the first time.

Jack, obviously, is the Prince of odd comments, but every now and then a circumstance comes up where he and Aaron have a little row.  Aaron, despite trying times (or should that be 'tying'?), tends to come up with some good sallies himself....


“I just think it’s so cute, the way she hog ties a prince, robbing him of the tattered remains of his dignity.”

- Jack, regarding Kalika and Aaron

“Now you gone and put me in a bind, you being all trussed up like a Christmas goose. I’m gonna have to drag your ungrateful carcass around like bloody Samsonite until she tells me I can untie you, and you don’t have any wheels.”

- Jack, to Aaron

“Ouch, that had to hurt!”
“Yes, yes it did. And I must say, Jack, you're better at hauling the dead than singing. I can judge for both."

- Jack and Aaron, again

"Kalika, I assure you, I'm not about to kill anyone at all, nor do I intend to in the near or far future.  Barring any unexpected circumstances.  I know you don't care what I'd appreciate, but I would appreciate being untied before Jack reaches those stairs."

- Aaron, still being dragged by Jack

"Good luck, and try not to start a war."

-Fiona, to Anrej, James, Jonee, and Kaelyn

"Reminds me of an old something that I heard once...how did it go? Ah yes...'Join the Army, See Exciting Places, Meet Interesting People...Then Kill Them!' Heh.
Morgan to Duncan



Yes, I am a chronicler of sorts, though the information I gather is for song. And wherever the princes go, excitement follow.

Cyan nods, impressed. "Well said." She grins at the other girl. "And where the Princes of Amber go, so too does Chaos follow...."
Cyan & Lexy



Ares leans back in his chair, folding his arms resolutely across his chest. "Oh, I have a way of getting to Amber, my friend, but I have seen no reason to go there. I have been before, I'm in no hurry to return."
Ares

"You are surrounded, please make no hostile moves or we will be forced to kill you!"
-Nameless Ranger-type in Arden

Nice to see those Arden Rangers were raised well by their mothers...politeness counts!  ^_^

"Your friend need not worry, he is too lean for Hunter's tastes"

Kalika to Cyan


"So what have you done, to make enemies of this land?" she asks directly, never one to conceal what's on her mind.

A simple misunderstanding regarding the ownership of some relics and artifacts, that's all. That and a few drops of spilled blood during my last visit here, or rather, during my somewhat-hasty departure. Oh, and the mysterious way that the three daughters of the family I was staying with at that time all found themselves..... er..... shall we say in a delicate condition?"
"Naturally I was blamed for that, and their father had connections at court. So, you see, it was all just misunderstandings, coincidences and circumstance."


Kalika and Ares

"I am weary of bickering, I am weary of secrecy, I am weary of people promising to 'come clean', and then continuing the obfuscation. I am weary of ulterior motives, I am weary unto death of the way I, too, have been sucked into this morass of confusion." Finishing packing, she stands

Cyan

. "Hey! That's pretty clever. Wonder if they called it the Drunken Porpoise deliberately?"
He nudges james with his elbow, "Drunken Porpoise, see? Drunk On Purpose."

-Jonnee


It seems, that one thinks somebody died and made her the boss.

-Andrej about Kaelyn

Continuing with the 'Jack annoys character X'

[Jack falls down half a mountain and lies with his heart stopped for a good minute before waking]

“Who are you? . . Where am I?”

“Jack?”

“...Gotcha.”

“You...you bastard!”

Jack and Cyan

“What do you think, Princess? Would such a strong young lady like yourself enjoy seeing far away kingdoms and the places of your dreams?" and his eyes glinted, flickering with centuries of knowlege, history, and the visions of worlds he had seen.

“That depends," Chrissie replies, "on whether or not you always talk crap like that."


-Aaron, trying to deal with the fact that he will be shepherding his teenage Great-(to the nth power)-Granddaughter Chrissie.

"Hush, Berd.  Nor will I, your Highness," she states quietly.  To cover her surprise and a certain discomfort, Cyan sips at her tea.  Then she continues.  "I have no qualms of sharing this duty with others...no qualms save one.  Times past we have had difficulty with those in our group, with the lack of sharing of information.  Now, I do not wish to go back to any bargain or forcing people to tell all.  But we do need to know in whose hands we place our lives - it will be difficult enough to have such a group agree on a course of action, without knowing a little of each other.  I am not adverse to telling all of my background, all of my strengths, but I would at least know something of those with whom we travel.  Preferably from them - better that they choose what they wish to say"

Cyan dictating terms to Fiona and Benedict

"Things here are headed for a serious wipeout."
   -Jonnee, demonstrating hithero unknown powers of prophecy.

"I wish I'd turned this gig down when I was offered the choice."
   -Or perhaps hindsight?
